Supreme Treasure Art of the Thunder Emperor, Auspicious Lightning Descends

Chapter 41: Supreme Treasure Art of the Thunder Emperor, Auspicious Lightning Descends from the Heavens

[You have faced the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique. Under your Unrivaled Insight, the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique has successfully fused with the Ten Thousand Heavenly Thunder Array, leading to the comprehension of the Supreme Treasure Art of the Thunder Emperor.]

[Supreme Treasure Art of the Thunder Emperor: Comprehended as the Thunder Emperor, one can command all lightning techniques in the world!]

The sudden enlightenment sent a jolt through Su Changqing's heart.

Seeing the majestic heavenly lightning about to strike him, Su Changqing felt no panic whatsoever.

"I am the Thunder Emperor! I command this lightning to descend upon the mortal realm, to overturn heaven and earth, to shake the heavens and earth, to set the sun and establish the moon! My supreme authority cannot be fully described!"

Su Changqing immediately grasped the technique, began chanting the incantation, and then pointed a finger towards the sky.

Everyone thought Su Changqing had been scared witless. Instead of defending or retreating, he was pointing at the sky, as if to draw down the majestic heavenly lightning summoned by Lu Xueqi.

But in the next moment, everyone was stunned.

The heavenly lightning struck Su Changqing. Instantly, the dazzling lightning flashed, blinding everyone and making it impossible to look at where the lightning fell. The thunderous roars echoed for a hundred miles, and the entire Tongtian Peak trembled violently.

After a few seconds, the lightning and the rumbling subsided. Su Changqing's figure was nowhere to be seen. Everyone was startled, and the entire place fell silent.

"Did Su Changqing get smashed to death?"

A voice broke the silence. Everyone turned their eyes towards the speaker, who quickly shut their mouth.

In fact, at that moment, no one needed to be reminded. Everyone was already having this thought: Had Su Changqing been reduced to shattered bones by the lightning technique?

One had to know that this heavenly lightning was truly powerful. Each of them, questioning themselves, knew they would have difficulty surviving under this lightning technique, let alone Su Changqing, who had met it head-on without any defense. He was very likely smashed to death.

Lu Xueqi also felt a flicker of panic. After using this move, she had already regretted it.

She had intended to use this move to push Su Changqing to his limit, but she hadn't expected Su Changqing to be so foolish as to take it head-on with his physical body, showing no intention of defending himself.

As it stood, Su Changqing had vanished without a trace, not even a wisp of his aura could be felt.

Just as everyone was increasingly convinced that Su Changqing had perished under the lightning technique, a voice suddenly called out, "Look up at the sky!"

Everyone followed the pointing and looked up.

They saw a figure appear in the dark clouds.

The person stood atop the thunderclouds, clad in a white robe embroidered with purple lightning patterns. These patterns shimmered with a mysterious light, as if speaking of his power. His hair fluttered in the wind, revealing his handsome face.

Lightning flashed, and an emperor's majesty emanated from him. His gaze was like electricity, yet he wore a faint smile, like an emperor surveying the world below. Beneath his feet, the thunderclouds churned, and lightning snaked wildly, as if submitting to him.

And this person was Su Changqing.

But when had he appeared above the dark clouds, and how could he have created such a spectacle?

"Senior Sister, this technique is truly formidable!"

Su Changqing stood tall above the thunderclouds, speaking with admiration to Lu Xueqi.

"You scared me to death!"

Lu Xueqi was overcome with joy and tears. If Su Changqing hadn't appeared, she would have thought her Junior Brother had been annihilated by her lightning technique. Guilt and self-reproach had filled her heart, nearly driving her to the brink of collapse.

"It's my fault, Junior Sister. I was just borrowing your lightning technique to comprehend a new spell, so I hid in the thunderclouds to cultivate for a bit," Su Changqing explained with a smile.

"Everyone, be ready to receive my next move!"

Su Changqing looked down from high above and called out to everyone. Then, he began to form hand seals. "I am the Thunder Emperor! I command this lightning to descend upon the mortal realm, to overturn heaven and earth, to shake the heavens and earth, to set the sun and establish the moon! My supreme authority cannot be fully described!"

As the incantation was uttered, the majestic heavenly lightning, which had stopped, reappeared in the sky.

Just as everyone was wondering what Su Changqing was doing, they saw streaks of heavenly lightning descend. And these lightning techniques were not falling elsewhere, but directly onto the spectator stands where the Qingyun Sect disciples were watching.

"This is life-threatening! Su Changqing, have you been struck by lightning and gone mad? Your opponent is Lu Xueqi, why are you attacking us!"

"He's crazy, utterly crazy! Su Changqing, I have no enmity with you, why are you attacking me with lightning!"

"Run! Run!"

Seeing the lightning techniques descend, everyone completely failed to understand what Su Changqing was up to. They began desperately trying to scatter and escape, causing chaos.

Who would have thought that a competition would end with the audience suffering?

"Sect Leader, Su Changqing has gone mad! He's summoning lightning to strike these disciples. Why aren't you stopping him quickly!" Cang Song said indignantly to Dao Xuan Zhenren upon seeing this scene.

"No rush, let's watch a bit longer!"

Dao Xuan watched with a solemn expression, stopping Cang Song, who had wanted to act. At this point, even he, a Sect Leader who had weathered countless storms, didn't know what Su Changqing was doing.

But clearly, a disciple with Su Changqing's disposition would not go mad. Perhaps his actions had a reason.

Shui Yue lightly touched her forehead. She had known Su Changqing would cause a stir by participating in this grand competition, but she hadn't expected him to cause such a huge one. As his Master, Shui Yue was extremely anxious, wanting to know what her usually well-behaved young disciple was doing now. If he truly intended to harm people, she, as his Master, would personally eliminate the threat.

Some disciples ran with great speed, managing to evade the lightning techniques. However, some disciples had weak cultivation and couldn't evade in time, being struck by the heavenly lightning.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out. Just as he thought he was about to be killed by the lightning, he opened his eyes after two seconds and looked around. He found not a single scratch on him.

"I broke through! I actually broke through!"

Just then, he surprisingly found the spiritual energy within his body becoming abundant, and in an instant, he had broken through from the third realm of Qi Refining directly into the fourth.

With a joyful shout from him, the people around him cast looks of astonishment.

What?

He wasn't injured after being struck by heavenly lightning, but instead used it to break through?

"Stop running, everyone! Accept this heavenly lightning; it's auspicious lightning, it can increase our cultivation!"

Another voice rang out, causing everyone to become even more confused. Heavenly lightning could actually increase one's cultivation? With a desire to try, they stopped fleeing and began to accept the lightning.

The next second, those people's eyes lit up. It was true; this heavenly lightning was full of spiritual energy, not only replenishing it but also helping them break through realms.

More and more people began to sit cross-legged on the ground, accepting the rapidly falling heavenly lightning. For a time, Tongtian Peak presented a rare sight, with over a thousand disciples commencing collective cultivation as the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy formed a vortex, surging towards the peak.

"Senior Sister, how was my lightning technique?"

Su Changqing slowly descended from the thunderclouds beside Lu Xueqi, asking her with a faint smile.
